Tracket Inventory System
Preface
The students of Union College are immersed in quite a diverse array of majors
and interests. During my four years here I have learned a lot about my self and my own
interests as well as a lot about my fellow classmates and their interests. I would say
that one of the most significant things that I have learned and noticed repeatedly is that
no one is an expert in everything. When we need to get something done especially in
engineering, we rely on past experiences and problem solving skills to complete the
task. Often times, the problem we are trying to solve exceeds the boundaries of our
current knowledge base, therefore, we reach out to friends and colleagues with more
experience in the subject to help expedite the process and ensure the problem is
solved in the most optimum way possible.
Seeing professors and other professionals use this tactic to complete tasks has
been the inspiration for my senior project. My younger brother, Joshua, is an avid
tennis player and entrepreneur. He uses the connections he’s made to help subsidize
the cost of training and competing. Currently, his largest source of income is stringing
the rackets of the people he knows and the people he plays with. He is quite efficient
with stringing and providing his various racket services and I think if he were to keep
better tabs on pricing, overhead, and materials being purchased and consumed, he
could further increase his profit margin, which is always the goal of any successful
business.
